Also a blatent cheater I complained about is still roaming freely on live he has undefeated stats and he uses stand-by on every single matchmaking game he plays (S 2the kills) please bann this monkey!

can anyone tell me why bungie just ban you for feedbacks??????????

I just recieved an email adn it said i've been suspended for 1 day due to feedbacks???

bungie, its not fair if you just ban me just cuz they leave some feedbacks. some ppl are jacka$$ and they just feedback for no reason.

bungie, if they feedback then you just gotta watch me play or ppl play not just ban with the feedbakcs

WHAT IS RANK BOOSTING?
Lots of people still seem to be confused to let me clear it up. Just because someone gets a new tag and starts playing with his old friends again doesn't mean they're boosting, they're just playing with a new a name. It's more like you're intentionally playing with new gamertags to lower the level of the opponents that you will get matched up with. The problem really get bad because many games that are on xbox live come with a 2 month free subscription. So let's say you're playing slayer with 3 of your friends. If 2 or 3 of them were to jump onto a 2 month account so that you could get matched up against easier people and help your level go up, that's boosting. I've seen people do it, hell some of my friends even do it which is real annoying. I have 2 accounts myself, though they've both been played on so I couldn't use either to boost. So next time you play skirmish or slayer, and you're matched up against a team whose levels are 16, 2, 3, and 1 you can pretty much assume that they're boosting. Also I've heard of people gettin on the phone and enetering matchmaking at the same time so that they get matched up against friends and intentionally losing, but this seems way too difficult.

About getting banned for betraying people is stupid because the betrayal thing is retarded i dont even betray people most of the time and it says betrayal when im halfway across the map and i get booted for no reason. So heres my question, what if it says I betray them but I didnt do anything will i still get banned for that?

ok i have a question about boosting, if im a low level cos i havnt played much and i play with my friend who is a level 11 would that be boosting? even if i am a better player than him?
or would you consider boosting when i get to my maximum level (say 11 for aguments sake) and i keep playing with levels 16 or higher? its quite confusing and i wouldnt wanna get banned for just playing with my mates who are higher levels

this is what I think is funny.

There were two of us ( fret fire and me) at the begining trying to explain why the friends list cannot be reset... then other people gota start copying the same thing.
Now for the banned section..... If you have ever read anything that frankie has written, you would realize that he is an angry person sometimes ( with a good sense of humor)

I think when he started going off about the bannings, he was going from personal expierence ( meaning he has the same things happen to him in a game that we all do).
they cant actually ban people for leaving games because some people have really bad connections, for cursing and threats I can understand. But I do belive that some of you took him way to seriouslly, and he flushed out all of you that had sometihng to worry about.

If you didnt do anything wrong, quit worrying.
But I also want to know about the "FAKE FEEDBACK".. meaning, like said before, if you completlly murdewr someone in a game and they leave you bad feedback.
My friends and I were in a team slayer match last night in waterworks, I flew the banshi over to the other teams base for a distraction while my team went for the flag. I popped up on three people talking about doing a dummy glitch on us, I asked them if that is what they said and replyied : yeha, thats what I said, what are you gona do".
I told my team this, then we were on defense, they came over, sure enough, the flag dissapeeared in fron of three of us, then they scored.
They still lost by one point. But afterwards, they said they were going to report us for standbying them, When none of us even have this thing on our modems, and the score was only 2-1.

LITTLE KIDS WHINE TO MUCH and there parents dont teach them not to be sore losers.

Well, I'm pretty sure the betrayal ban is if they notice that upon playing for 10 seconds you've killed two to three teammates in almost every game you play... or you have a history of pulling a Thelma and Louise on flag runs on Waterworks/bomb runs on Headlong (or any map with Hogs and pits you can fall into).

And I can now sleep well knowing that those 10 year old kids that scream the entire time will not only be muted (one of the best features on live) but eventually banned.

I may also be banned for this but in the second paragraph of the BANNED! section... today was written "to day" Oh dear, my Caps Lock is acting up to day.
(just to point that out... probably already has)

And on the topic of cheating... the super-jump was not fixed in the AU. Is it considered cheating? (sometimes it's fun to sneak the bomb around the top of Burial Mounds) And if some jerk decides to hide the flag up there, would it be ok to go up there and kill him? (if super-jumping is cheating... I guess I'm saying: can a cheat technique be used to thwart someone who has used the same or similar technique to hide somewhere and my team needs to smoke the (word defined as the illegitimate child of unmarried parents) out? Or should we just quit, take the loss, report it and move on?)

PS: I really liked that HBO series (I think it was HBO (not halo.bungie.org... the other one)) BAND of Brothers
PPS: I know... bad pun... I'm sorry I just couldn't resist.

[EDIT] - A lot of people have been wondering about "Golden Showers" as a gametype in matchmaking. In the January (or February) edition of OXM the bonus disc contained a few playlist for custom games, one of them being Golden Showers. Now, this is not a appropriate name to allow children to read but then again children shouldn't be playing this game. But, back to the topic at hand, what weapon releases a golden stream of energy and deals about as much damage as pissing on someone (*wipes a tear from my eye* Good ol' Conker's Bad Fur Day) ... that's right... the sentinel beam... and only the sentinel beam. (It's oddly fun in a weird way)

Are you guys at bungie ever going to make new playable people like a spartan or a Elite, maybe you could add a jackal for us all to play as. Imagine running around with a group of jackals or marines. Just an idea.

Hey, little capaso biy.
It has nothing to do with being on bungies dick.
I am partially in the buisness, and work with people more in it, and know how much of a pain in the ass it is to make these things.
Do you actually know how long it takes ( not to mention how hard) to make these updates and maps. no, you dont.
Its not something they just come up with in there head and say " oh lets put that in the game"

How about this, You sit down and go pay the thousands of dollars it takes for the computer programs they have to use.
then, come up with the money it takes to pay the people to make, develop,test, promote.......$100,000's later you have to send it through the big dogs ( microsoft) to see if they like it.

Go ahead, then 10 years later when you still havent figured out the codes,textureing,shading.... come talk about it.

you little kids that get everything handed to you on a daily basis dont understand that some thing actually take work, and not demanding or begging.
but thank you to the people who do understand, its not easy to come up with a million dollar game, then come up with extras almost a year (and even more money) later just get people to shut up

i was told that when levels are reset, it will inadvertently reset friend lists as well, is there any truth in this rumor?[/quote

Excuse my language, but F U C K YOU KID!!!!!!! Ever try goddamm READING the thread before asking your stupid questions? DAMMIT PEOPLE!

READ BEFORE YOU POST! Most of your redundant questions have been REPEATEDLY ASKED and REPEATEDLY ANSWERED!

And for anyone who wants to ask "Duhhhrrrrrrrmmmgg...Is my friends list going to be reset?" Here's the answer :

A friend is a friend. Your friends list remains a constant through all Xbox live games. It's data is stored on your Xbox hard drive and through the Microsoft servers. Your Friends list will NOT be reset, because it would delete all of your SC:CT friends, or your (choke!) Fight club live friends. Are we GETTING IT FINALLY?!

God, let's use our brains as tools of society!

Frankie,

I was wondering. Im 20 years old and i play Holo when im done with my classes. HALO 2 is a awsome game and Bungie is keeping everything going smoothly. but, i noticed u said that boosters will be banned.. even if they did it way back when.... well i admit... i did it i think 2 times.. the first i thought we were playing for real n i got pissed bc they all left so i did... the second i finally cought on to what they were doing n i left the clan... do u think i will get banned for that. and secondly.. Halo 2 is rated for mature people. i dont think they should get benned for cursing. i cure alot... im like " FCK THIS LAGG!! i get shot with a rocket...I HATE THIS FCKIN RACKET i dont curse "at" the people jst to myself... but on ocasion i will tell some kid off bc he ticks me off... but if a little kid turns me in for that... thats lame... im 20 years old n i think i should be allowed to cuss... and the threats.... well EVERYONE even u i bet will say IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!! I GOING TO -blam!- YOU... well i dont think that should enable bungie to have a reason to boot someone... but hey... i kno what u guys got to do and i thank u for getting rid of "almost" all the cheats. Its ur job to keep the best game in the world working right...

Please Repond to this...
Thanks,
SchnabS69
